Chapter Nineteen: Admitting My Mistake

A/N: Well, this is the last chapter! Er…technically not because there's also the epilogue. Does that count as like a real chapter…? O.o; No matter, please enjoy and review!

It all came back out painfully and messy. His hair was put to the side, his hands grasping tightly onto the rim. His black painted fingernails were digging into the white stone. His face was buried in the bowl as he vomited the drink out of his system.

"Let it all out. Don't worry it's going to be all okay."

John was at his side massaging his friend's back as he puked out the alcohol. Matt, Brooklyn, his sisters, and the Bryan siblings came barging in.

"Where's Je – Oh hell no." Matt cursed under his breath as he saw Jeff. "Aw man, this can't be happening."

Caria gasped as she saw him too. "Oh no Jeff --"

She tried rushing to his aid, but Brooklyn ceased her, holding her back away from him.

"No don't!"

John looked over towards the group. "You guys really shouldn't be here right now. Brooklyn stay here and everyone else go out of the room for a while."

"But --"

"Just listen to him and come on." Brooklyn ushered his sister and everyone else out the door.

A half and hour of mixed emotions building up with everyone, the door opened to the room of the suite. Brooklyn's faced popped out and he saw Matt leaning against the wall with Roxy, Dameon sitting next to Amy across from Matt and Roxy, and Caria sitting in the center of the floor Indian-style, in front of the door with her head in her hands.

"Come in now."

Caria's head shot up to him with puffy red eyes. "Finally!"

She got up to her feet and entered inside the room. On his stomach, Caria saw Jeff lying on the bed. He seemed calm, but looked a little weak. He had to stay on his stomach in case he was going to vomit again. The others followed in, but Caria stood the closest to him. Jeff's eyes fixed upon the petite blonde.

Caria stepped over to him and put a hand onto his soft head. She squatted down to meet eye-to-eye with him. Tears dropped down her face.

"Why me…?"

Jeff breathed out gently and spoke "I love you more than anyone else. But you wouldn't believe me. I tried telling you that I really didn't mean what I said. Now do you see?"

More tears burned her eyes. "Yeah… and I regret every little moment I didn't trust you. I'm sorry Jeff, I'm so very sorry. This is my entire fault; I let my jealousy get in the way. I knew in my heart you didn't mean it but I wouldn't believe it."

"Baby, don't cry." Jeff said softly He tried not putting so much effort when he talked. "I wanted to get you back and tried everything that I could. Trust me, it wasn't easy. I was almost tempted to break dance. But you probably thought I was an idiot."

Caria giggled through her tears. "You're my idiot, and I would of rather you do that than this. I'm here now, and I want to stay with you – if you could ever forgive me."

"Already done."

Caria whispered "Thank you."

She placed a kiss onto his forehead and held him gently. She was home.
